Black Ceramic Goblet

Artist Yoshiaki Imamura has created this goblet which incorporates various elements commonly seen throughout his work. The goblet has an argyle design on the outer cup surface created through a subtractive process, where depressions are made into the clay, which are then coloured using glaze. The inner surface has silver glaze, with minor marks visible from minerals in the clay that were created during the firing process. The stem and feet are a sculpture of a human torso in high gloss black glaze. Handmade.
